To recap, in Part 1 of this topic, we discussed on using various communication skills to establish and build rapport with the audience. 5 elements of communication skills were mentioned. They are:
1) Vocal Tone 2) Facial Expressions 3) Hand Gestures 4) Pacing 5) Pitch
In this Part two of this series, we will focus on how to capture your audience’s attention and make them yours immediately! If you are able to capture their attention during the opening of your presentation, your battle of building rapport is half won.
Research shows, you have exactly thirty seconds to command the attention of your audience. Don't waste it!
Here are 3 sure-fire ways to start (in my ebook, I have 7 methods to WOW the audience right at the beginning), whether you are presenting in front of a large audience or a small group of people. There's no right or wrong way to open. You must choose the right technique based your style and the purpose of your message.

It creates immediate identity and empathy with your aud

However, that doesn’t mean a quotation from William Shakespeare, Winston Churchill or even Bill Gates, unless one of them specifically said some that can be tied into your premise or purpose. However, if you can provide an endorsement or positive comment about you, your products or your subject matter, then the quotation can provide relevant value.
